Because, up to this point, I do not believe Microsoft has gotten even close to the most from their IPs and the money it's taken to acquire them

What does this even mean?

This is a hell of a lot of acquisitions with very little to show, IMO. Activision/Blizzard + Zenimax is over 75 BILLION USD

The Activision/Blizzard deal hasn't even gone through yet. And games take time to develop.

"Why does this matter? What does this mean?"

Have you noticed everyone is effortlessly understanding what you cannot even fathom to grasp? Either stop acting an idiot or learn to apply the tiniest bit of critical thinking before you reply, cheers hun xx

We all understand that Microsoft has had a rocky past when it comes to releasing 1st party content on Xbox. But you are pointing to an acquisition that hasn't cleared yet.

No no.. WE all understood. YOU finally understand 100 comments later, at least I hope you finally do.

Again, I said "time will tell' with regards to Activision/Blizzard. That does not negate the dozens of other acquisitions up to this point (many of them 10+ years ago) and their fairly lackluster IPs up to this point.

Please, learn to carefully read and apply critical thinking. You're making points which have been acknowledged in previous comments - making you appear either an idiot or argumentative for arguments sake. Likely both tbh.

You'll get there.

Uh, no. The vast majority of their studio building was within the last 5 years. And many of those studio acquisitions happened as a game was being released and we're much smaller studios prior to the acquisition. Most of these studios have doubled or trippled their size and started new projects. Most AAA games take 5-7 years to develop. This is why you didn't see immediate results from those acquisitions.
